project thingy

todayyy, me ninoshka and mary-anne chose which topics we are going to research about, for the project.

I chose to do...
~ Hand held multimedia devices
~ Social Networking
~ Motherboards
~ Wifi

We have decided to use Zoho and Scrapblog for our project.

the three tool thingies.

we have decided to use :

- Scrapblog





This allows you to have...
text, images, videos, links, texts, and other things, and music. It also allows you to work with your partners at the same time.










- Prezi




This tool allows you to... create this big map, where you put your ideas, and create a path to go to each of your ideas.. You have to create an account; you can add files to it like, powerpoint, videos, links, images, text.








- Zoho




Zoho..the notebook thingy.. you can add text, video, images, audio, HTML , url's and other stuff. it's like scrapblog, where you have many pages and stuff. I think you can also work together with your partners...

the thingy thingy. - assessment.

firstly.... i need to... get those screenshots of scrapblog and the other ones.

http://www.myplick.com/















http://watchitoo.com/

looking for stuff.

i have found other tools that look interesting.... but I don't think they're very useful.
I've found...
- PreZentit - from what I can see... we can add text and images. not sure about the rest.

- Empressr - it says you can add... photos, music, video and audio. haven't explored the rest.... I think you need to make an account... but its FREE~. anywayy..

- formatpixel - a place where you can create your own... online magazines.. fanzines... o___o , brochures, catalogues, portfolios and many more. it says you can create.. multi-page projects, layout text, upload images, add interactivity and customise something's appearance =D
ooo.. you can also import videos, and add links to other pages too.

I haven't looked at these properly yet... I should do that later..tonight..at home =D

ooo .... I found two more tools, that look interesting.. i think.

- sliderocket - you have to sign up for this one i think... you can create presentations and... I haven't seen anything else yet.

- prezi - dunno about this one.... looks alright... It says you just create a big map thingy, and you just zoom in on that part of the map to show your "ideas"

soooo... I have to look at these later.... =="

assessment .

todayy.... sir is talking about zoho. this other tool I haven't used yet. From what I can see on the board, you can add text, images audio, videos and html's . it's like scrapblog, it has a book looking thing, I think. He's saying that it's a useful tool or something... and yeah...

anywayyy, about the assessment. I think I get what we're meant to do now.. :
- looking for tools that we can use to present information on something...

assessment.

we have to research 3 different types of multimedia tools to use for our presentation. me, mary-anne and ninoshka have chosen...scrapblog, watchitoo, and myplick.



Scrapblog


Scrapblog allows you to upload pictures, videos from other sites. You can have music playing in the background [don't know if you can upload your own...]. It also allows you to have text.
It is pretty easy to use, and it shows you how to use the things on it.
It also allows you to work with your partner at the same time. You can create an account, but you don't need to to work on the presentation.



....We have just decided to scrap the ideas of using the tools "watchitoo" and "myplick" because it doesn't meet those requirement thingies we need.



Myplick



It doesn't allow us to upload videos.

It also doesn't allow us to work at the same time with our partners. Myplick doesn't support powerpoint animations.

Watchitoo

This only lets us upload videos i think. It doesn't allow us to upload much .

assessment task

Last friday we got our assessment task for this term. We are doing a multimedia presentation, and i don't really get it right now =="
